JACG: Italy's national railway has restored the iconic historic express train L'Arlecchino to use in passenger service, originally built in 1960 as a series of four trains that entered service just in time for the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.

Pontoon front fenders and a cockpit.

From SEMA, look at the work they put into the loft line. Presumably for looks instead of aerodynamics.

I suspect the 'wedge-cut' top has shortened A-pillars. I don't recall seeing rounded windshield corners before. Presumably they used a grinder on the glass.

'Impala'

Some really know how to fabricate! I'm not one of them.

The bubble-top Impala was one of my favorites back then.

Stock on top and aero on the bottom, not counting the ducktails. Splitter. side skirts and difusser. I wonder what it looks like underneath.

Underneath is a captive baby sand-worm to ease this sculpture over the dunes. It can't have any significant wheel suspension to make aero styling functional.

Might have a lift kit. Lowriders like to park on the frame
